Did you know that there are two countries which are completely surrounded by Italy? Or that Iceland is one of the most volcanic regions in the world? Or that the Soviet Union borders more countries than any other nation in the world? (Now that I've read that, it seems as though it should have been obvious to me -- after all, look at the SIZE of the Soviet Union.) On this issue of Diskworld, you can learn many interesting facts about our European neighbors. In addition to a paragraph or two about each country, the following information is included:
Official Name (sometimes in the native language as well as in English)
Official Languages
Current Population
Type of Government
Description and Picture of Flag
National Anthem, Holiday, Motto
Current Leaders
Natural Resources, Exports, Imports
Location, Area, Highest Point, and Lowest Point
We plan to have similar programs on future issues which cover other continents including South America, Africa, and Asia, until we eventually cover all of the countries.
